Where is Mr Cummings these days? Can't wait for the bus to arrive '350,000 illegal immigrants will be flown to Rwanda. More money for NHS. Vote me'.

Cummings is busy writing impenetrable tweets/x’s sounding very pleased with himself from what I’ve seen.

@L1ttledrummergirl I purposely daydream about the Tory candidate door stepping me and me refusing to hear anything they have to say unless it’s an apology.

That's because he knows there will be no flight.

Politics shouldn't be this hard to live with.

This one sentence is an excellent summing up of the situation.

I can't help feeling that in another life Mr Sunak could have been en excellent salesman for Fujitsu. He appears to have all the requisite qualities.

Oh dear. The Mones are so misunderstood

This thread has cheered me up about feminism on MN

Which is pretty much what the small boats did when Rishi told them to stop.

Forgot I followed Conservative Post the other day.

This post is comedy gold.

This well bells on, someone just make it stop I’m losing what little sanity I had.

It's not you @dontcallmelen , it's Them.

The most memorable part of that speech Starmer have the other day is that politics should tread a little lighter on people’s lives.

He’s not wrong.

Apparently Coffee knows Kigali is the capital of Rwanda

I know Kigali is Rwandan capital, says Therese Coffey - BBC News

In a social media post, Ms Coffey said: "Some keyboard snipers moaning that I criticised the opposition for referring to the Kigali government, not the Rwandan government.
"I would not call the French government, the Paris government nor the Scottish government, the Edinburgh government. Why disrespect Rwanda?"
Critics have pointed out Ms Coffey has referred to "Holyrood, Cardiff or Stormont" when referring to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Senedd and Northern Ireland assembly, respectively.
Ms Coffey also repeatedly referred to "Brussels" on social media when referring to the European Union, which has its headquarters in the Belgian capital.

I bet she has also ever refered to the ECHR as a foreign court since it belongs as much to the UK as it does to any country.

Well. She knows now. Silly woman.

Coffey speaking from Westminster? I think everyone understands that? Even Dr Coffey.

Emily Thornberry doing a great job on QT tonight. Plus Hashi Mohamed. I hadn't heard of him before, but he talks a lot of sense in a very eloquent way.

Question time was good last night. Its a shame Bim Afolami thought he was on avoid answering question time. Learnt from Sunak when he fails to answer questions at PMQs.

The rest of the guests were good though, and the audience made some good points.

“They are dividing a society, they are making us feel like refugees are the scum”

Barrister Hashi Mohamed says the rhetoric created by the Rwanda policy is “poison” and describes the policy as “unconscionable”

The Home Office has hired an aircraft hangar and a fuselage so they can practice forcibly removing migrants on to planes.

I am sure our Tory friends will be first in line to volunteer their services

How much lower can you sink, Sunak

Whilst the sight of people being forceably removed may play well with some of those who voted Conservative in 2019, for others of their 2019 voters, thinking particularly in Shire counties who also think of themselves as compassionate I expect it will further alienate them. The sort of people that Sunak may also have alienated with his anti-environment rhetoric.

That is truly repulsive.

I agree with @jgw1 - this won't bring back the more moderate, compassionate Tory voters.

I don’t think they are at all bothered about bringing back the moderate Tory voters. Chasing the reform vote seems to be what they are going for. Happy for them to carry on with that once they are out of government. Just need to get them out.
